Metribuzin 750 WDGPlant Protection Product ComparisonPlant Protection Product ComparisonReport inaccuraciesReport inaccuracies

Herbicide widely used in pulse crops, especially mixed with Diflufenican in lupins. Also used with Trifluralin in barley to control grass weeds. Do not apply to soils with pH >8.0. Both pre and post emergent due to both leaf and root uptake. Best results with  6-12mm rainfall within 2 weeks of applying.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide is non-corrosive to equipment, nonflammable and non-volatile. The degree of weed control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of herbicide applied, soil texture, rainfall and other conditions

MIXING:

General: 4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide is to be mixed with water and applied as a spray. Before spraying calibrate equipment to determine the quantity of water necessary to uniformly cover the measured area to be treated. Partially fill the tank with water. Measure the amount of herbicide required for the area to be sprayed, adding this amount of 4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide to the spray tank with the agitation system engaged. Top up to the correct volume with water.

APPLICATION

General: Best results are obtained if treatment is made to moist soil and moisture is supplied by rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (6-12 mm) within 2 weeks after application. If heavy rains occur soon after application, injury to the crop may result.

Aerial Application – (Qld only)

Peas – apply in a minimum of 20 litres water per hectare. Potatoes – apply in a minimum of 50 litres water per hectare. Avoid overlapping of spray swath, Avoid spraying in still conditions and in wind likely to cause drift

Pre-emergence and Post-emergence (To crop)

4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide should not be applied when weeds are in the young seedling stage (no more than 3 true leaves). Under dry conditions there is no root uptake of 4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide and results against grass weeds and Wireweed (Hogweed) will be poor. Except for small areas, use fixed boom power sprayers set at 200-300 kPa (for tomatoes do not exceed 200 kPa) and fitted with fan nozzles. Apply a minimum of 80 L-100 L prepared spray/ha. Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in spray tank. When spraying avoid overlapping. Shut off spray booms whilst starting turning, slowing or stopping otherwise crop injury may result

Pre-plant incorporated – Soybeans only

4Farmers Metribuzin 750 WG Herbicide alone or in combination with trifluralin 480. Spray anytime from 4 week before sowing until just before sowing. Use fixed boom power sprayers set at 200-300 kPa and fixed with fan nozzles. Use 120-500 litres water per hectare. Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 80 mesh. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. When spraying avoid overlapping. Shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing and stopping otherwise crop injury may result.
